nice job, creative idea of how the source image is used, something different from all the other entries so far.

Well done ... best in Hi res, almost missed the person inside and that makes it even better!

Cool, great idea. The repetition of the elements is just right!

Wow verrry well made and creative. Just one question, why not use a human body inside? Still not bad, just wondering.

hmmm..interesting

This is awesome!

Is it a tractor, is it a steam roller, is it a submarine ... no it is Super Rivet Runner! Great! What a wonderful creation.

Love your machine, wouldn't mind operating that thing.

Well made machine, just don't know if I like the background too much. But its too late for all of that, so points on a creative and well made rivet runner

cool construction...best of luck

Where did the face come from? There is no source listed, and if it's painted, please show a couple of steps.

Edit: ok, cool.

Sorry Pearlie, but the source is up now, it takes a few minutes ...... and its a photo of a mask....not a painting or a rendering.....was the only decent pic of a mad scientist i could find

Pic looks better in high res

Definitely works in hi res ... I agree with you author! Love the concept and I think there is a great story here ... I would hate to have him rolling down the tracks after me! I can just imagine a girl tied to the tracks in front of him ... anyone ever heard about The Perils of Pauline!

nice work

Very odd but nicely made

Oh my gosh, that thing in the window, totally sacred me, lol. Nice work.

Damn......53.9% score??????
What an insult.
That seems a bit low....this piece wasnt the best in the contest, but deserved a better score than that..

"...this piece wasnt the best in the contest, but deserved a better score than that."

By what standards? Every piece ranking better than yours showed much more effort, transforming the source image, while your entry basically just masked off portions and added a face and some lights. Technically it was sound work, but aesthetically you didn't alter the image all that spectacularly to rank much more than "average," which at 50%, is pretty much where you landed after 841 votes.

Perhaps if you had put your "scientist" in more of an environment, say of a laboratory, or a hidden workshop, your concept would have read better and you would have gotten a better score. But for what you did, compared to all the other entries, I think you ranked correctly in this contest.

Don't let your hubris control you. It won't help here. To rank high, you have to show more than just good chop skills, you need your concepts to show good imagination as well.

Mossy B........No need to tell me how to rank high...i am an old timer here and used to be in the top 10 choppers at the old PST.
The problem is the voting system....people vote without understand what goes into the picture and i just dont have time to make a 10 step guide.

The concept in this pic was good and it should of scored higher.
53 % is an insult
Nothing to do with my Hubris controlling me.

VERY NICE! This is a keeper!

Fabulous message author...extra points for that

I love the manipulation, but I think the text is distracting...

This image literally makes me queezy.

Could not have said it better myself VitalExpressions, kind of nightmarish in a good kind of way. Thanks for the humor. Nice work.

thank u lchappell..,

It was hilarious ... as I scrolled onto this image I felt my whole table move! Great work and movement!!! Bravo!

very good quality.......my expensive

Wow I've never seen so much movement in a still picture. Props on that alone. I don't know about anyone else, but this is one Olympic race I wouldn't want to watch haha. Good job, author.
